SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce has received a request to conduct a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts thereof from Germany. In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.214(d), we are initiating this new shipper review.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 27, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anne Copper or Richard Rimlinger, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-0090 or (202) 482-4477, respectively.
The Applicable Statute and Regulations
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), are references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all references are made to the Department of Commerce's (``the Department'') regulations at 19 CFR part 351 (1998).
Background
On May 25, 1999, the Department received a request from MPT Prazisionsteile GmbH Mittweider (``MPT'') pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(b), for a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts thereof from Germany with respect to ball bearings produced and exported by MPT. This order has a May anniversary month. Accordingly, we are initiating a new shipper review for MPT as requested. The period of review is May 1, 1998, through April 30, 1999.
Initiation of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2), MPT provided certification that it did not export ball bearings, or components thereof, to the United States during the period of investigation. MPT also certified that, since the investigation was initiated, it has never been affiliated with any exporter or producer who exported the subject merchandise to the United States during the period of investigation, including those not individually examined during the investigation. It also submitted documentation establishing: (i) The date on which the ball bearings, or components thereof, were first entered or withdrawn from warehouse and the date on which the subject merchandise was first shipped to the United States; (ii) the volume of that shipment; and (iii) the date of the first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), we are initiating a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on antifriction bearings (other than tapered roller bearings) and parts thereof from Germany with respect to ball bearings produced and exported by MPT. We intend to issue the final results of this review not later than 270 days after the day on which this new shipper review is initiated.
